Arms Warrior DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — The War Within (11.0.7)

This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Arms Warrior, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

We highly recommend using Raidbots to sim your character's ideal gems and enchants, as they might differ from our general recommendations.

The best stats for Raiding Arms Warriors are Haste and Crit, so that is what we will be gemming for.

You should use Culminating Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Crit effect, ideally Quick Ruby/ Quick Onyx/ Quick Sapphire/ Deadly Emerald. Fill in remaining sockets with Quick Ruby.

The best stats for Mythic+ Arms Warriors are Haste and Crit, so that is what we will be gemming for.

You should use Culminating Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Crit effect, ideally Quick Ruby/ Quick Onyx/ Quick Sapphire/ Deadly Emerald. Fill in remaining sockets with Quick Ruby.

You should be drinking the Flask of Tempered Swiftness at all times.

Your stat potion should be Tempered Potion. Use these when you will do the most damage with your abilities, likely during your cooldowns and/or Bloodlust/ Heroism. You can also obtain Fleeting Tempered Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.

You should keep a stock of Algari Healing Potions to use when at low health, and if you have a Warlock in the group, grab their Healthstones and use them as well. Do not macro these together, they are best used separately! You can also obtain Fleeting Algari Healing Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.

Since our secondary stats are stronger per-point than our primary stat, you should be eating secondary stat food at all times, either Beledar's Bounty, Outsider's Provisions, Jester's Board, Empress' Farewell personal food, or the The Sushi Special Feast. They are all identical.

In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Crystallized Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death, so use them wisely!
